I filed for a K-1 & K2 visas for Ken & KJ. So, Ken & KJ went for their medical today! Only to find out KJ needs a passport in order for him to do the medical! Ken & I hadn't planned on bringing KJ up with him, until we had settled in and prepared for him. We were planning to bring him up in the fall (or whenever Ken's advanced Parole was approved) Anyway, I just called my handy dandy 202# and asked them how to proceed, She said that they will NOT issue Ken's visa without KJ's! ...since I filed for them together! So for sure we are going to be getting a blue slip!!! So, we have to wait on KJ's Birth Certificate...then they will say they want a DNA test & KJ's passport, before Ken can come up! Somebody told me that the US approved DNA test can take SIX months! Mobay Hope takes the samples and send it to the US for testing. So it's looking like maybe another 8-9 months before Ken can come up and I feel like I am going to die right now!! This is so different from what I was originally told (memba when Homegirl lost KJ's Birth Certificate) they told me that Ken's visa would be issued and we had a year to sort out KJ's blue slip and bring him! Lord...give me strength! Thanks for listening...love you, Gill Gill, Unless they changed the rules from early last year, that's what happened with one of my cousin. She filed for her fiance and his child, but the mother was giving them problems and would not allow the child to go with him to the interview. Her fiance came up and then the child follow I believe 5 or 6 months later. Maybe the rules change...mi no know...mi lawd...what a piece a rahtidclaat STRESS fi add on pon u There were mostly familys there when we went for the interview. One guy was there with his daughter, they were asked what took so long to add his name to the birth cert., were you dead? the lady asked. So she said that that they needed DNA testing and then she gave the option for him to go ahead of his daughter to the states, or to wait to go at same time. So they approved his visa and blue slipped the daughter. I saw several like this where they only blue slip for the child and approved the mom or dad. I didnt witness any denials. So no worries Gill u KJ And Ken will be fine. Edited by JALOVE, 25 February 2008 - 08:35 PM.	SweetSugahDumplin	Female	Jamaica	2008-02-25 20:34:00

It was breaking alot and that was the best thing to do. I cut in in December to my ears and it's now grown down my chin. Don't know what it is in out family, but our hair grows like grass then it stops once it gets 1/2 way past our shoulders. Before I was stressed out and all that I went to the DOMICAN SHOPS and they took excellent care of my hair. $25.00 wash and set and blow-dry. I would go 7:30am on Saturday mornigs and be out of there by 9am. Best thing...NO APPOINTMENTS necessary. I loved it. Only thing I see with them, they don't really know how to style short hair. Where is the Dominican shop Trelawny20853? I'm in MD and want to try them out one day...

You do have a few choices 1 cut it off and start from scratch 2 have someone braid your hair in single braids and let your hair grow and trim it back every now and then 3 some shops can add dreds to your hair like extensions I cut mine off and wore braids for about 6 months, then I wore a TWA (Tiny Winy Afro) for another 3 months then I went into Locs. I've been Loc'd for 1 year now and Lovin It i was trying to let the perm grow out but it got awful dry where the natural part was especially in the back middle of my head it was like tumble weed i broke down and got a perm after 4 mos of trying i think i wanna try again but to cut it all off my head to big for that lol i think i could wear the kinky twist i do like those in the interim if i do cut it off and start fresh my hair is really damaged from the blonde color i put in it so im trying to come back from that this guy at work did the add on locs they came out and his he has his own now they are coming along nicely my hair is very fine so i can see them slipping off of mine too or maybe they didnt do his right or something	SweetSugahDumplin	Female	Jamaica	2008-02-22 16:06:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 5)	Ladies u were all talking about hairdos yesterday a good interim hair do till u get a perm or if tryin to go natural is to twist your hair back like cornrow. Isnt it called flat twist? not sure but let that dry and it comes out really cute after u unravel it. I wear myhair like that alot when i go to JA its easier to deal with and dries fast.

Well, my co-worker have a question. What is the difference between a I-134 and I-864. My co-worker used a lawyer, her fiance is from Jamaica. She doing K-1. I was on the phone with her and the lawyer's assistance and the woman told her that she needs to pay $380.00 more once the received a bill from NVC. $80.00 for the visa and $300.00 to process the I-864? What is the I-864 for? I thought you had to file a I-134. And I thought you paid for the visa before the interview. Please correct me. She pay all this damn money and the attorney can't even talk to her or answer her e-mails. I would cuss some BBclatt if that was me. But she's a quiet lady and well...cho. I just hate to see people taken advantage of. I don't remember reading anything about I-864 when I put my packet together. Lawddd did I miss something. Little Red Riding Hood is quicking my body with CRAMPS this month. ok the I-864 is for the AOS unless she needs a co-sponser and sometimes the embassy will request the co-sponser fill out a I-864..that happend to me.... from what i remember and when is being done as of today she has to pay for the visa/interview ahead of time...i think it is 100.00$ i am a little confused...is she doing a k-1 or or k-3/cr-1......because i thought when you send the packet in for the K-1 you send a long the money you don't get a bill... Lawd...now now mi worse confused. She filed K-1. So, you do have to pay for the visa for the K-1 ahead of time. They're telling her she has to pay the visa fee for the K-1 here in the US and NVC will send the receipt to the consulate in Jamaica. I don't remember reading that anywhere. She did send the packet for the K-1 and paid $455. She's received her approval I think last month or December. She doesn't have an interview date yet. I have to ask her again. The paralegal in her attorney's office is told her she needs to pay $80.00 for the non-immigrant visa and $300 to process the I-864. And all her fiance need to do is show up with the police certificate and the approval notice and attend the interview when it's scheduled. Her fiance will not need to bring an affidavit of support, tax records, employment, etc...anything like that at the itnerview. I told her to go to the attorney's office. Does that sound right? Dunno what they talkin about chris paid 100 for the visa at paymaster in Mobay a few days before the interview and i filled out an I134 and had it notorized.. didnt do the 864 till AOS. We did K-1 finished in October 07. Thanks Jah'love, that's how I remember reading it. I think the fee is $131 now. She just read what you posted, now she upset. I told her to go to the attorney's office and sit there until he talks to her. They charged her $2250 to process her K-1. Mi wah know wah dem do fidat mout a money. sounds like they are talkin about the cr1 to her they need to read up on their visa types k1 doesnt get any form of bill in the mail and i havent heard of any recent changes since the fee changes in july tell her ask before she goes paying all that money. Like you said i would go down there and talk face to face and do some research of my own online before dishing out any money. i thought 131 was for the visitor visa fee. I belive its like 132 i was just checking that for someone let me do some research u got me curious now. Be right back! lol ok im back the fee did increse!!! Application Fees for Non-Immigrant Visas to Increase On January 1, 2008 Effective January 1, 2008, the application fee for a U.S. non-immigrant visa will increase from $100 to $131. This increase allows the Department to recover the costs of security and other enhancements to the non-immigrant visa application process. This increase applies both to non-immigrant visas issued on machine-readable foils in passports and to border crossing cards issued to certain applicants in Mexico. Applicants who paid the prior $100 application fee before January 1 will be processed only if they are scheduled and appear for a visa interview on or before January 31. Applicants who paid the prior $100 application fee and appear for visa interviews after January 31, 2008 must pay the difference -- $31 -- before they will be interviewed. The Department is required by law to attempt to recover the cost of processing non-immigrant visas through the collection of the Machine-Readable Visa application fee. Because of new security-related costs, new information technology systems, and inflation, the $100 Machine-Readable Visa fee is lower than the actual cost of processing non-immigrant visas. In fact, the $100 fee was already lower than the cost of processing non-immigrant visas when the fee was reviewed as a part of the cost of service study in 2004. The Department has been absorbing the additional cost. We are now collecting 10 fingerprints from each applicant, and the cost charged by the FBI to review those fingerprints no longer allows us to do this. The application fee has increased twice since September 11, 2001, the last time in 2002. 2007/1133 Released on December 13, 2007 Edited by JALOVE, 22 February 2008 - 12:57 PM.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 5)	QUOTE (sus @ Feb 20 2008, 02:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (JALOVE @ Feb 20 2008, 11:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Any ideas on how this will work. My friend met a guy from the Bahamas. He came as a vistor on his passport and police record to the US. I dont think they need a visa to visit the US. His family then filed for him. That is still pending over a year now. No activity on his file. So he marries my friend this past november. If she files for him does he have to go back to Bahamas? Does the old petition from his family get thrown out. Should they even file again? I would have her find out the status of what they filed and what is pending - not sure if they can withdraw or not - She can file for him to adjust status based on marriage - He definitely should NOT leave the country until the process is completed - See here: http://immigration-l...ve_petition.htm The overstay should be overlooked if the marriage is valid - my friend is from Scotland, came legally, overstayed, married a US Citizen eventually and got her green card through marriage. However, if he leaves the country before adjusting status he could end up with a bar for the overstay. Thanks everyone for your advice i will tell her. they met in MD she didnt know him while he was in the bahamas.	SweetSugahDumplin	Female	Jamaica	2008-02-20 18:18:00
